Billets at Hersin

There was again heavy shelling in the evening, between 8pm and midnight, but otherwise the day was largely quiet.

Pte. Eli Bradley (see 1^st February) was admitted via 100^th Field Ambulance and 18^th Casualty Clearing Station to 12^th General Hospital at Rouen; he was suffering from debility.

2Lt. Charles Douglas Storrs, who had joined the Battalion a month earlier (see 26^th March) departed for England. He had applied for a posting to the RFC but in the event would join the Royal Engineers Special Brigade, dealing with the use of gas.

Pte. Albert Bateson (see 29^th March), who had been in England since having been wounded in March, was posted to 11DWR at Brocton Camp, Staffs.
